Caterpillar

There was a caterpillar
with many, many legs.
He wanted to have dinner,
he didn't eat all day.
He invited little children
to go inside his mouth.
He trapped and swallowed them.
The little ones struggled,
They wriggled and they crawled.
Soon they came out smiling.
Oh, what fun they had
going in and
going out.

A Lovers Embrace

....Thousand of tongues glide over the skin
......Hands read every peek and valley,
.......lovers embrace, stroking the body
.............. and relaxing the soul.
....Waves of white foam forming and breaking.

........... Thank God for a working Jacuzzi!

A SECRET

I look at the stars to find the secret of life.
In the twinkling lights
eternity had writing her mark.
I search among people for the secret of life.
I found worries, sorrows dismay and confusion.
I search in the forest for the secret of life.
I saw that the cycle repeats itself.
Life is born and it dies;
it last only a brief moment span.
A gift every day.
Every dawn a new gift
to enjoy and to share,
not to waste in regrets.

Forever

At the first glance I knew already
that my heart was yours forever.
Your sweet smile was the door to a land
of dreams and hopes I never knew.
I want to walk always with you
and love you each day of my life.

Friendly Enemy

An identified enemy
one should not fear the most.
Preventive measures could be taken.

A true enemy that harms you seriously
is the one that receives you with open arms.
Kisses your cheeks
meanwhile planning to harm and rob you.

Fat Rats

Every day I put:
bread for the birds,
peanuts for the squirrels.
I leave nothing for the rats.
The food is for the birds and squirrels only!
But, why are the rats getting fatter?....

Over and over again

One drop followed another.
They were running.
They wanted to touch the sun.
They forgot to hold hands and
disappeared in the air.
They became cold and
dropped back to earth,
where the race starts anew.
